The purpose of Blue Ridge Community College Office of Student Accessibility is to provide reasonable accommodations and support for students with disabilities intended to facilitate equal access to postsecondary programs, courses, and college-sponsored events.
Am I eligible for services?
According to The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, a student with a disability is someone who has a physical or mental impairment; has a history of impairment; or is believed to have a disability that substantially limits a major life activity such as learning, speaking, seeing, hearing, breathing, walking, caring for one’s self, or performing manual tasks.
Documentation of a diagnosed disability is required for eligibility for services.
I may have a disability but I have not been diagnosed. How can I get evaluated?
